Chapter 236, the skin is thicker than the city wall
The ancient yamen was not so easy to enter, even if it was just a prison, it was not so easy to enter.
The three families scraped together half a tael of silver before they were eligible to visit the prison, but only one person was allowed to enter.
If it weren't for the three families together, they wouldn't have been able to scrape together the money for this prison visit.
At this moment, only two people can be allowed in, and Cheng Dajin's family has no advantage, because Cheng Dajin's family has not been "retaliated" by Su Wu.
In the end, it was Aunt Zou who relied on her age and was punished by Su Wan, and finally grabbed this opportunity.
The bearded jailer bit the silver, which was not much compared to the rich people in the county town, but the people with a lot of money did not follow the path of their jailers, and the officials would not give them the silver, at most a meal of wine and meat.
Therefore, the jailer was still satisfied with these "confessions", he carried the silver into his arms, straightened his chest, held his hip with his left hand, and pressed his right hand on the handle of the broadsword, "Keep up, move quickly." ”
"Okay, good, please lead the way in front of the big brother." Aunt Zou bowed in front of the jailer, and she was extremely respectful, where could she see the appearance of playing tricks in front of Su Wu before.
This is just bullying Su Wu is a foreigner and has no relatives and friends to rely on in Chengjia Village, so he dares to bully Su Wu like that.
But she didn't get the slightest benefit.
In addition to splashing and scolding her mother in front of the surrounding villagers, Aunt Zou has never done anything bad in her life, and it is the first time she has come to the government prison.
Walking down the damp, dark, narrow alleyway, she suspected she was on her way to hell if it weren't for the torches on both sides, screaming, moaning in pain, and people reaching out to grab her in the cells on either side.
was so frightened that her old bones almost fluttered.
She approached the jailer with fear, and she did not dare to look at it at will, for fear of seeing some terrible picture.
"Here we are."
Cheng Ertiao, who was imprisoned in labor, heard the voice of the jailer, and as soon as he looked up, he saw his mother, and hurriedly climbed over, holding on to the fence and standing up with difficulty, "Mother? Mother, are you going to pick me up? ”
Aunt Zou looked Cheng Ertiao up and down, and saw that there were many blood stains on his pants, and they had all coagulated, and she knew at a glance that he must have been tortured to extract a confession.
"Son, you, you weren't beaten into a trick, were you?" When she went to the countryside to sell vegetables, Aunt Zou also watched street dramas, and of course these street dramas also have the meaning of officials popularizing the meaning of not doing bad things for the people, and being arrested for doing bad things.
However, as the saying goes, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, so the points that Aunt Zou realized from the play are naturally different.
She was afraid that her son would be beaten before she admitted it.
Cheng Ertiao was not ashamed to say anything in front of his mother, but the jailer was still on the side, so he naturally didn't dare to speak freely.
The jailer was not a person without eyesight, and he was not interested in this kind of thing, so he said impatiently, "You two hurry up, I'll be back in a moment when it's time for a cup of tea." ”
When the jailer left, Cheng Ertiao was about to ask, but Cheng Dajin and Cheng Qing also climbed over, and they all used the fence to stand up.
It looks like he was tortured to extract a confession.
Aunt Zou, who watched it, burst into tears, wiped her tears and cursed Su Wu, "That woman who killed a thousand knives was so ruthless that she bribed the people of the government to torture you with a little silver, is this a big deal?" You have to make a small thing into a big thing to make trouble, and you have to make a trick. ”
Not to mention, Aunt Zou really guessed Su Wan's thoughts, but Su Wu didn't frame them for no reason, the kidnapping and pretending to be coerced were all made by themselves, not made up by Su Wu.
Finding out the truth must be an official matter, what does it have to do with Su Wan, the bitter master?
"Aunt Zou, what about my father, why didn't they come?"
"Aunt Zou, where is my eldest brother? Does he leave me alone? ”
Faced with the questions of the two, Aunt Zou answered honestly, "The three of us couldn't get together enough money to come in, and in the end, only I could come in. ”
"Aunt Zou, you must let your father and mother rescue us out, let them beat the drum and voice their grievances, we didn't collude with the mountain bandits, we really don't know the mountain bandits."
"Yes, Aunt Zou, don't you know who Nijo is? He is a filial child, as his friends, although we are a little idle, but where do we have the courage to collude with mountain bandits? ”
"We just want to kidnap Su Zhen and ask her sister for silver flowers, it has nothing to do with the mountain bandits, Su Zhen is so rich, can invite hundreds of people in our village to a big banquet, can't you give us a hundred taels of silver flowers?"
"These rich people are really stingy, and the richer they are, the more stingy they become."
Cheng Ertiao's mind was spinning fast, and he came up with a solution after a while, "Mother, you go to Su Wan, kneel at the door of her house, and beg her to forgive us, okay?" She just came to our village, she has no roots, no friends, no one will help her, she is a thin-skinned girl, she will definitely not dare to let you kneel for too long. ”
But in an instant, Cheng Ertiao felt that kneeling might not necessarily work, Su Wu was too unkind, so he directly reported to the official and arrested him, and he had to teach her a lesson, "Mother, you still call the father and mother of the two of them, call all our relatives and friends, there are many people, you go to her house to make trouble, her family is weak, even if she has great strength, can she beat dozens of our three families at once?" ”
Cheng Dajin echoed, "That is, she is just a woman, her younger brothers and sisters are still young, and her mother is a fool, she lives in the village, can she not rely on the care of everyone in the village?" If she is sensible, she knows how to compromise, she is a foreigner who comes to our village, she doesn't know the rules too much, and she offends us as soon as she comes, Aunt Zou, you go back and cry more, so that everyone is willing to help you, if hundreds of villagers are willing to go to her house to make trouble, we will not be a problem. ”
Cheng Qing thought beautifully and said, "It's best to let her admit that she made up all the stone axe villages herself, and it has nothing to do with us, we just invited his brother to play games in the forest, and we have no malicious intentions." ”
Cheng Ertiao and Cheng Dajin nodded together, reacting that they had just said the wrong thing, and said one after another, "Yes, we are just looking for the child to play, it is Su Wu who has reacted too much, and we are at most just sending the child back a little late." ”
The amount of information is a bit large, and Aunt Zou, an old man, can't digest it for a while.
